Give your top 5 rules for men in a marriage, try not to repeat?

Question

If your rule is the opposite of someone elses the explain why.

Answer 1

1. Be monogamous, without trust there is no marriage

2. Be honest which shows your partner respect and that you
also value her integrity.

3. Communicate with, never talk down to or dismiss your
partner's concerns, Share your concerns with her,finances,
family PX. in law issues, child rearing-Sharing words, time
and yourself, that's what its all about... covering each
others back and being supportive during good times and
the bad.Sharing: If you both work outside the home then
you both work inside as well.Support her interests and be
proud of her accomplishments and she will do the same
for you.You are a husband now and she's your first priority.

4. Listen in order to understand and not only will you begin to
know your wife, you will also learn more about yourself and
be able to grow together. It's when 2 people grow apart
that a marriage becomes at risk.

5. Don't lose sight of why you married her in the first place,
keep the romance alive and schedule time to just have fun,
life can get too serious and bogged down in everyday
finances and difficulties. Spend time with each other,
remember what dating was like? Just because you are
married doesn't mean the courting is over.

Answer 2

1. BODILY FUNCTION: just because were married doesnt mean its fun to fart under the covers and pull them over my head, also make sure you warn me if im going into the bathroom, and im going to sit on a pre-warmed seat...i'll pass thanks
2. FOOD: dont make gross squishy chewing noises or eat too fast or with your mouth open or come in the kitchen to 'help stir' and lick all the cooking spoons and put them back in the pot. also, if you double dip in the queso, or leave mystery crap in the mayo jar, youre going to get smacked
3. WORK: dont quit your job, or be a working martyr, or think because you worked an honest day that you are entitled to drink a six pack and call me a *****, whether i am or not (am)
4. VOLUNTEER WORK: if i say something needs fixed, i mean now. i dont push a lawnmower, hang christmas lights (or take them down), change tires, go in the attic for any reason, lock the whole house up before bed, or investigate a weird noise in the night (if you give me that job, do so at your own risk, youll end up with a knife in your ribs one night on your way out of the kitchen)
5. A WOMANS HOUSE: no, the pinup girl in the garage is not okay, nor are you allowed to participate in any home decorating whatsoever, put up your frat flag and its going in the fireplace. if i want a wall painted, you smile and do it over and over til its the right color

Answer 3

1. faithfulness and commitment to the marriage

2. Honesty

3. unselfish and loving

4. Romantic and fun

5. Mutual respect

I could think of lots more BUT these are the first ones that come to mind and I hold myself to these standards and rules for myself as well. You make of marriage what you want to and for me if you love and treat your spouse like you want to be treated and loved this is the first step to a great and successful marriage.

Answer 4

ok Men.... this is the truth. I have known this for many years.
Every night when you come home you have to say these 4 things.
1. Honey, I am sorry.
2. It is all my fault.
3. It will never happen again.
4. I love you.

If you do this with a sincere loving look in your eyes, and mean it, you can ask for the most important thing.

5. Can I have sex........:)

That is what makes a great marriage.

Answer 5

1. Be a man, not a nutless wonder
2. Don't become 'vaginized'
3. When you make a decision, stick with it, whether right or wrong.
4. Don't compromise your integrity
5. Don't get suckered into an argument

Answer 6

I am not sure I would want a list of rules if I were to get married, seems oppressive.

Answer 7

1 Communicate with me
2 Be honest with me
3 Show me that you love me
4 Respect me
5 Take care of me

Answer 8

Be realistic about what you're going to do...

Don't say you're going to vaccuum if you're not...

Don't buy a case of beer, say it's going to last for two weeks and finish it in two days (and then get more)...

Just don't make empty promises, you'll get along better if you do less but do what you say you're gonna do...

Answer 9

(don't laugh, it is amazing how many singles out there do not have those qualities)
